I think this is an EXCELLENT subject that should be updated for people who just bought or have missed it. Here's my story.
First, I bought the 7 year/100,000 mile medium care (forgot name) for a WHOPPING (SP)
$2,400! I thought this was high, but had never purchased an extended warranty before. I specifically asked how much profit he was making. He told me a few hundred, which seemed a bit much, but I was ok with it. Then, I read one of the posts about warranty prices and started doing some research. Next, I cancelled my warranty, got a FULL refund and proceeded to go to another local dealership and make a deal. After telling the sales manager which warranty I wanted, he asked what I would be willing to pay. Due to my research, I offered $1,700. He accepted. Be aware, if this sounds like a lot, it's due to the 100,000 mile part. If anyone is interested, I'll ask what they would be willing to sell the other warranties for. Just let me know. For anyone that is NOT aware, the dealers purchase the warranties just like the cars, they have the option to sell them for ANY price they choose. DC has no say so in the matter.

You can purchase the DC warranty after a the car is one year old. You have the ability to purchase up to the 36 month limit.

I would be interested in a 50,000- 75,000, 7 year low deductible, reason being that when I sell someday having this warranty would help seal the deal!

Plan service will be provided or assisted by the Dealer who sold you the Plan, at his place of busines, using genuine Mopar new or authorized remanufactured parts. In the event you cannot return to the selling Dealer for service, you MAY REQUEST service from any Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge,or Jeep Dealer within the 50 states, etc.

I highlighted MAY REQUEST, what are they really saying here? I don't want to go to a different service dealer and be put in stall 87, when they have only 86 stalls.

Laddie,CJ,and Bob - maybe you might get us a solid DC explanation of "may request". This could bring new light on this subject.
Thanks in advance for your research work.

I'll see if I can price it for you tomorrow. If I haven't posted a reply within a couple of days, feel free to e-mail or remind me. I hate the thought of people paying too much which is what almost happened to me.

Dealers will tell you this makes your car worth more but, when you go to trade it in or sell it, there is no NADA value for an extended warranty (ie. no more cash for having it)

I agree with HI HO on the value an extended warranty gives, but I think with this car if you sell to a private party it would help to put the buyers mind at ease.

Another thought is to wait till you are about ready to sell then buy the warranty?

On the other hand if you keep your Kat past the three year 36,000 miles and have a break down I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap to fix!

Wow am I confused now or What!

JP I'll PM you when I figure this thing out!

PaulR,
Yes you can. If I remember correctly, if you get a refund after 30 days it only costs you about a $100 fee. It says it somewhere on the warranty paperwork or on the website. I'll see if I can find it for you. Afterwards, as long as you don't wait too long, you can buy another warranty.

Anyone else,
Be aware, most of you will live near more than one Chrysler dealership, therefore it is not difficult at all to make them compete on price for the warranty. If anyone has any questions, please post them. Others may have the same, but are afraid to ask.
